Our jalapeno plants have sprouted some really great peppers in the past couple of weeks. Actually they’re huge (that’s them in the pic)! I am so excited because that means it’s time for fresh salsa!

I started making salsa from scratch a couple of years ago. I tried recipe after recipe but I never found one that really hit the spot. I finally decided to play around with the ingredients and created this salsa recipe. It’s just how I like it. I’m not a huge fan of cilantro so I only call for a pinch but you can adjust it to your taste. You can play with this to make it as hot or mild as you like. Just leave the seeds in the jalapeno for very hot salsa (my personal favorite) or remove them for a milder taste. I learned from making this that there are no rules.

You may need to make it a few times to get the taste you prefer but making it is half the fun! The flavor builds after it is refrigerated for a few hours. Here’s the recipe (double up for parties):
